So, they just completely told my H what I got him for Christmas. I gave them his list, minus what I bought. The just discussed every item on there. By process of elimiation, he now knows what I got him. Blah.

Well, now you know for next time to give them the abridged version of his list.

 

Are they usually so inconsiderate or do you think they just had a senior moment?

Oh, also, if your husband is anything like mine...

 

By process of elimiation, he now knows what I got him.

 

...then he's probably already forgotten what all he's asked for. Gosh I adore men. :love:

Just a senior moment. They are a very chatty bunch anyway. They also talked about taking me to buy boots when they visit, so I know that H didn't get me the boots I asked for. Actually they really aren't into suprises, so they generally talk about all the stuff they are getting each other anyway, so I should've known better.

 

Apparently they just took H to task about something, so that is always interesting. :D I think they told him he should be spending more money on me. Okay, maybe that's in my dream world, but that's what keeps it entertaining!

Hey MFK-- I'm gonna T/J my own thread. I lived in RTP for 5 years and miss it terribly.

 

I guess my MIL just called us nerds, that and said she isn't buying anything for his GD car.

LOL. I love eavesdropping on my ILs. One morning while they were visiting I was getting ready and I heard my lovely nasally voiced Brooklyn native MIL screech, "WHY IS KATIE THROWING THIS OUT, IT'S PERFECTLY GOOD! I'M TAKING IT!" Followed by my husband saying in a really tight voice "Please don't go thru our trash and steal things mother."

 

She was talking about a bag from some leftover takeaway when we went out to eat the night before. There were coffee grounds all over it. LOL, oh MIL, you will never cease to amaze me.
